Ha, good luck finding someone who thinks they're overpaid!

Incidentally, the whole "it's rude to ask" etiquette is actually very much a British thing; when I've worked in companies with Europeans, Americans and Australians they've never had a problem with other people knowing. I wonder if it speaks to an in-built jealousy in our culture (probably related to our apparent dislike of successful people).
Ive never been money proud - just dont understand it. It was explained that every worker negotiates their salary - and to disclose it could cause problems with other workers on a different rate for teh same job.
Ive always - and I mean always - been in jobs with pay scales. so everyone in the same job, at the same level, got/gets the same amount - so it really doesnt matter.
FWIW, and as I say Im not proud:
Wage - £28k
Military Pension - £11400
I do get Child Benefit - £1780 (ish), though thats not tax'd of course. So to be fair, the equivilant if I was earning it before tax/NI would be £2620 ish
So - total income of £42020. I also get a company car to use for personal use. No idea what thats actually worth - but somewhere in the region of £5k per year Id guess, as I dont have to pay insurance, maintenance, or any work related fuel (I work from home - so as soon as I leave my drive on work business I dont pay fuel).
So - an equivalent of around (rounded figure) £47k all in before Tax/NI.
My wife doesnt work, and I have 2 kids so its not exactly as rosey as it sounds. Works out about the same as my military salary once the cost of accommodation (ie very cheap military quarter v ,y mortgage) is taken into account.
Its actually better than I tought once everything is added up (benefits plus car value). I thought I was around the £40k mark.
